Minqin Oasis is located in the downstream of Shiyang River Basin - one of the three inner land rivers in Hexi Corridor. It is surrounded by Tengger desert and Badan Jara Desert from north, east and west sides. The fragile eco-environment has been degenerating continuously due to decline of underground water level, arid climate and deterioration of water quality, such as death of large area natural vegetation, serious shortage of underground water recharge, intensifying desertification. A thought of the Ecological Rehabilitation is “man retreat and sands will retreat”, which is not suitable for Minqin Oasis on account of the reality that the plant would not survive unless irrigation. It is also the common dilemma that confronts most Degenerated Oases. Thus, Minqin county government and Lanzhou University jointly proposed a new thought of the Ecological Rehabilitation – “man settle and sands will settle”. The focus shifts from “population migration” to “population transformation”, that is to say, the identity of laborer and the function of water, sands and land will be transformed from agricultural production to ecological rehabilitation, which need proper policy support. But the exclusive environmental, economic or social policy cannot ensure the implementation of the new ecological rehabilitation thought isolatedly, so the various policy resources need to be integrated. Based on the actual dilemma of ecological rehabilitation in Minqin Oasis, we try to put forward our idea of integration.
